WE HAVE A SWEET STORY TO Share.
FROM LOCAL FAVOURITE TO NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT
Sweet Bella has grown from a small passion project into one of Calgary’s best chocolate brands. Known for its bold flavours and artistic presentation, Sweet Bella continues to push creative boundaries while staying true to its small-batch roots.
Founder and head chocolatier Kevin Conniff, brought even more attention to the brand with his standout appearance on the Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship (Season 10), where he was the only Canadian contestant and earned the runner-up title. His talent, humour, and inventive approach to pastry made him a fan favourite across North America.
